Director of the Legal Team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe, has accused Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia of betraying his boss, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his own ‘selfish’ presidential ambition.
According to him, Dr Bawumia’s widely publicized lecture dubbed ‘Bold Solutions’ for the future is a plot to publicly discredit the Nana Addo-led government but not to proffer solutions for Ghana.
He questioned the vice president’s sudden posture, especially given his significant role as the chair of the Economic Management Team, which is responsible for shaping government policies and their implementation.
“What is he [Dr Bawumia] talking about? Go to his website and he describes himself as the vice president of Ghana and chairs the Economic Management Team which is responsible for shaping government policies and guiding their implementation.
“Why is he today telling us otherwise?” He questioned.
Lawyer Edudzi Tamakloe, who was speaking in an interview on NEAT FM’s morning show, ‘Ghana Montie’, expressed utmost shock at Dr. Bawumia’s sudden posture about a government he plays a pivotal role.
Tamakloe went on to describe Dr. Bawumia’s assertions in his ‘Bold Solutions’ speech as a “coup d’état” against President Akufo-Addo, indicating a perceived betrayal by the vice president.
“I must say Dr Bawumia’s assertion in his ‘Bold Solution’ speech is a coup d’état’ against Akufo-Addo,” he asserted.
